  I did until like a week ago.

  I’d had enough as they hurt and wasn’t getting better, I do a lot of rock climbing so the chalk makes the issue worse, plus I have not been doing great mentally so diet and hydration was awful.

  What I did:

  • Bought some Nails Inc Cuticle Oil (I am male, but it works). You just add a bit and rub it in. I now use this most days and definitely after climbing.
  • I know that with a poor diet I am likely missing vitamins as some of my nails had lines down them. I take a cheap multi vitamin everyday.
  • I am conscious to drink more water, although I already drink 2-3liter a day.
  • I am making plans to improve my eating habits as I get decision fatigue and really just don’t eat enough. Think I’ve been alive too long that food is just meh at this point. But I went climbing yesterday on hardly anything and felt incredibly sick.

  My nails are better now. My mental health not so much but one step at a time.

    I’m positive 95% of your results came just from drinking more water. when your hands look like the picture, it’s almost definitely because you’re chronically dehydrated.

    • dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I am not so sure. As I said in the post I drink a lot of water.

      So I wake up and have a cup of tea and for evening meal I have a can of Pepsi. Everything else in the day is just water and never less than 1.5 litres.

      For me at least I think it was the climbing chalk and poor eating habits so lacking vitamins. I guess I’ll never truly know and it’s good advice to be hydrated.

      I think the vitamin deficiency is more likely, I have similar issues. Lived in Phoenix for years and had a water bottle on hand all the time, it’s a part of the bigger picture but not the main driver I’d surmise.

    I didn’t know about the nail ridges-vitamin deficiency thing until my lady told me recently, makes sense. She got me a case of the ensure plus for extra calories to supplement through the day and it does help. Eat some veggies, get some sunlight, maybe go to a shelter and walk some dogs. Hopefully the physical elevates the mental, I’m in a similar spot and hope you get feeling better internet stranger 👍

      Thank you for this.

      I already do plenty of walking as if I didn’t I don’t think I’d be here honestly. I might look into ensure as I’ve had them from the doctor when my diet has been poor in the past.

      Don’t know if you’re the same but life’s like a rollercoaster man. One minute I’m doing good and mentally happy the next I can’t get out of bed and off YouTube.

      It’s like I’m just passing as much time as possible with no end goal in mind. Just death at the end.

      Sorry for being dark.

    This is very relatable. Can I ask you about your age? I’m 35 and struggling with eating enough my whole life.

      I’m early 40’s. Never really had a big appetite and just saw food as a means to not die, but things are untenable right now.

    Years back I was briefly into creepypastas. One I read was a guy who had a habit of chewing his nails and that people around him always made a big deal about it but he thought they were overreacting. At the end it was revealed that he had long ago chewed away his fingernails and was now chewing through his actual fingers without realizing it. As a result he was institutionalized for his delusions, I think.

    This picture makes me think of that. Thanks, I guess.

    You joke, but I’m missing a nail on one of my big toes and it’s so much more comfortable and less hassle that I kind of wish all my toenails were gone.

    …not so sure about fingernails though. They’re pretty useful for picking things up or praying things open.

      Is your toe nail completely missing, or do you still have some root growing? I have two that have a bit of root that just grows and gets uncomfortable until I pull it out. Not sure is trade the rest of my nails for that tbh

      I’ve got one fucky nail and every two weeks I’ve gotta pull it with tweezers because it grows in cup shaped and the point of the cup is too pointy for my delicate toesies. I’m thinking about burning it off with silver nitrate.

  I used to get this all the time. Now, if I get a hangnail, I liberally drench my hands in lotion, and put on nitrile gloves for an hour or so to force it to soak in.

  A family friend gets me Gojo Hand Medic, which my fragile masculinity appreciates.

  I also found it works well for breaking in leather work gloves.

    It’s a shame that every sink in every public toilets, workplace toilets or other people’s house still has soap with Sodium Laureth Sulphate in. Even the products that say “gentle on skin” tend to be full of the stuff.

    I tried various moisturisers for years with not a lot of effect. Swapping my soap, shower gel and shampoo for ones without SLS in them really made such a difference, and so quickly.

  Moisturizer

  Get a brand called Cetaphil and use it on your hands every day or whenever they dry out.

  I’ve worked in construction and I like working as a mechanic in my own vehicles … it means my bare hands get exposed to a lot of dirt, sand, mud, metal, oil and chemicals … which means I have to wash with lots of soap and chemicals. In the winter it’s worse in the dry cold air.

  So my hands get dry chapped and even cracked and start bleeding. My skin is so cracked and broken now that I can no longer use my finger print ID on my phone. I’ve tried resetting it multiple times but a new crack forms and then no longer works again.

  For years I put up with it and pretended I was a man that didn’t need help … but I got sick and tired of it and started using moisturizer and I really don’t care what anyone says about it.

  I still get dry cracked skin but not as often and not as severe.

    I have similar problems and have found many solutions, but Vaseline and cotton gloves overnight are freaking amazing. Kinda gross though. It’s like the nuclear treatment, afterwhich normal moisturizer works for maintenance.

    • ininewcrow@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I don’t blame you … when your skin is literally melting into blistering flesh, you will try anything to save yourself. I remember when it first happened about 15 years ago, it went from a small open sore to full blown skin melting all over my hand, forearm up to my elbow the reaction was so strong. I was bandaged up to the elbow for about a month before I saw a dermatologist and it was scary because I thought I was done for and that it would only get worse.

      So any nuclear option that is gross, ugly, weird or just strange is fine by me as long as it works.

      Like the old saying … ‘If it looks stupid but it works, then it isn’t stupid’

    • ininewcrow@lemmy.ca ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I tried a bunch of them including O’Keefes but I’m allergic to something and I’ve had the skin on my hands break out in blisters. I can abuse them with motor oil and auto chemicals but if some weird skin lotion ingredient gets into a crack in my skin, my skin literally just starts to break down for some reason.

      Cetaphil is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t have any weird ingredients … it was recommended by the dermatologist that treated me during a really bad break out. Haven’t had a problem since.

  If having lotion in your hands makes you uncomfortable, try just dabbing a tiny bit on the the backs of your fingernails and rubbing them against each other to spread it only on your cuticles. No slimy fingerpads or palms, and it really helps.

  Mom turned me onto corn husker’s oil. Figured since we shared genes, and it worked for her, might as well. Shit is the bomb. Tiny dab’ll do ya, doesn’t leave your hands greasy, dries fast, works fast, cheap, all that.

  My fingertips split in cold and dry air. Apparently I got a weird gene from great grandma, never met another person with the problem. Tiny crack across the tip, skin dies and turns hard, splits deeper, rinse and repeat. And the pain is stunning, like having an infected splinter stuck in your fingertip. Got that shit this year working outside in February and into March. Only took a few nights of using corn husker’s oil, GTG.
